Silencing a key gene in this pathway (ahcy) enhanced the replication of dengue virus in mosquito cells.
🦠This revealed a new antiviral hub that could be targeted for vector control.
Huge thanks to the team, especially co-first @sumeyye-ozhan.bsky.social & our PI @merklinglab.bsky.social ! 🙏
We identified the larval stage as a potential metabolic hotspot! 🐛
The methionine cycle appears to be a central metabolic hub, suggesting a high capacity for methylation. 🧬
(We even profiled the larval food!)

Kicking off the new year with mosquitoes, metabolomics, & arboviruses! 🥳
🦟Our new preprint is out! We mapped the metabolism of the Aedes aegypti mosquito across its life cycle to find new ways to fight dengue virus.

Developmental transitions in the mosquito Aedes aegypti are central to vector competence and disease transmission, yet the underlying metabolic programs remain poorly defined. Here, we use untargeted ...
